> I’d go further than this and say globally-scoped CSS is fine as long as you’re using a decent naming pattern (e.g. BEM), or @layers.

Hear hear. Started using BEM in like 2016, haven't had collision issues since. Not sure why people are so hellbent on doing CSS inside JavaScript when CSS by itself can do almost anything you'd want at this point, even handling basic interactions.

Nice to know i’m not alone, I’m sure there are dozens of us — dozens!
